These are really great images, ethereal. I love those old brick storefronts! That's also a very nice photo of the Westminster Hotel. I admit, when I first started delving into L.A. history, I didn't pay much attention to Main Street, but there were some real jewels on "Calle Principal," after all. One thing I'd like to find is a nice photo of the (1875?) L.A. post office that was at Main & Winston. None of the images I've been able to find so far have been very satisfactory...
